All Our Suffering in Support of Conservative Ideals Has Meant Nothing

Imagine raising small children with the support of a community. Imagine never having to endure the abuses of a terrible boss because you were the target of economic terrorism. People in America will listen to that and think, “Hey! Don’t start talking to me about socialism! It’s a pipe dream. It sounds good but we all know that terrible things happen if you go that route!” But what if it’s not about “socialism?” What if it’s about common sense? What if it’s about basic humanity? What if all the things you’ve been told as the basis of your “noble suffering” are nothing but propagandized lies designed to make you submit to a lifetime of torture? “Nah! It can’t be that!” But what if it is? I’m serious. Just stop with everything you’ve been told to think and clear out a little space in your brain to examine the question of whether life really has to be this hard. What if it doesn’t? Conservatives have always browbeaten us with contradictory beliefs. “We’re going broke! Things cost too much! We have to cut back on social benefit programs!” If you say, “Well, we could raise taxes on the rich,” they start to laugh at you. “Oh come on now, the revenue of the government is plenty high enough. There’s sufficient revenue, it’s the expenses that are the problem. We have to cut expenses!” “Okay, how about if we cut subsidies to the businesses of the rich?” They laugh again, “Well, obviously we can’t do that! You want jobs don’t you? Those are critical businesses that can’t fail. No, we can’t do that!” This just goes on and on and on. The end result is that any taxpayer funds that might have benefitted you are taken and diverted to the rich. That’s all conservatives do. Every time. That’s their only scheme. They browbeat you. They insist the world can’t be better. They insist that it’s all your fault. They insist that all your suffering is necessary. Today, a huge percentage of the population has been beaten into submission. That’s the best word to describe the citizens of the United States. They are submissive. They have been indoctrinated to submit to a cruel authority. I’ve been around way too many people who falsely believe there’s some nobility in suffering. They’re willing to trade away all the good things in their grasp for the promise of some greater reward that will never come. “Here,” say the rich and the privileged, “give me what you have today, and tomorrow I will return it to you a thousandfold.” But you never get that reward because tomorrow never comes. “Where’s that thousand you promised me?” “I said tomorrow, it’s still today. Is there something wrong with you?” And the submissive American people fall for it over and over and over again. It’s pathetic. I’ve seen conservative men submit to beatings from their own patriarchal fathers. They intensely believed that their ability to endure pain would one day grant them the right to be loved.

Conservatives only try to deprive it from you in service of their own selfish desires. By their own admission they are sinful. Theirs is a completely rotten and corrupt philosophy that offers absolutely no benefits to humankind. They make you suffer for nothing. All the rewards go to them, none of it will ever come to you. What they mean by “trickle down” is that they will throw you face first into the mud and urinate on your back. “Thank you daddy,” say the loyalists who save their scorn for the people who try to tell them not to take it anymore. Do not let conservatives abuse you. Do not listen to their lies. They are false actors. Everything they say is meant to deceive. They want only to enrich themselves at your expense. It’s been that way all my life. Wake up. Wake up. Wake up! Today, the people are listening though not yet with their conscious minds. They have the sense that something is wrong. They’re like people standing in a field who have caught the sound of a distant noise and they are standing still, straining, listening to attempt to make out the message. The message is this, “Conservatives have cheated you!” Everything conservatives have always said is a lie. Many of the things that Americans have been conditioned to believe without question are nothing but malicious forms of manipulation. The truth is that the government can work. It is possible to pay for healthcare. All human beings have the right to dignity. We should all be able to enjoy the benefits of our labors. The conservatives have lied, they have lied, they have lied. It’s an astonishing thing. It’s as simple as flipping a switch. Once you see the truth it cannot be unseen. The cracks are forming in the veil of deceit, and the abusers are desperate. Even they know they’ve already lost, that’s why they’re starting to flee. Because when realization descends, it will be like a thunderclap. The lighting flash will illuminate the desolation that’s surrounded us all our lives. But for the first time, we’ll see it for what it is and be empowered. Our world does not have to be like this. We don’t have to inflict agony on one another. We don’t have to submit to the torture of our children. We can do better. We can have education, healthcare, prosperity, happiness, and dignity. All it takes is a collective realization about the sins of the father. We’ve been betrayed. The conservatives have betrayed us. They’ve taken their authority and twisted it for their own gain. They’ve subjected us to unnecessary pain. No more. The lie is cracking. We’ll do better. All the people who already see need only push a little harder. Everything conservatives believe is a malicious lie designed to trick us into becoming the authors of our own misery. Stop assuming there’s any other explanation. Stop giving them credibility. Conservatives only offer torture. When they win, we all lose. It’s time for a new day. It’s time to show conservatives the door. We have to stop submitting to the pain. Stand up and scream you aren’t going to take it anymore.
